Syntax

Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
[<Drive>:][<Path>]<FileName> [<FileName2> [...]] |
Specifies the location and name of one or more ASCII text files. If the file does not exist, MS-DOS Editor creates it. If the file exists, MS-DOS Editor opens it and displays its contents on the screen. FileName can contain wildcard characters (* and ?). Separate multiple file names with spaces. |
/b |
Forces monochrome mode, so that MS-DOS Editor displays in black and white. |
/h |
Displays the maximum number of lines possible for the current monitor. |
/r |
Loads file(s) in read-only mode. |
/s |
Forces the use of short filenames. |
<NNN> |
Loads binary file(s), wrapping lines to NNN characters wide. |
/? |
Displays help at the command prompt. |
Remarks
For additional help, open MS-DOS Editor, and then press the F1 key.
Some monitors do not support the display of shortcut keys by default. If your monitor does not display shortcut keys, use /b.
